TESTIMONIALS

"I read your excellent 'Leading by Example' profile of David Suzuki and agree with him. Meetings need to do something [to be more environmentally conscious]. Paper is all over the place!

Overall, I find your magazine to be a tear-out-and-save publication. I often refer my students to articles and add them to my own knowledge file. Convene^® provides more than just site inspections of the 'latest and greatest'. It's about stories that affect our industry and our world. Keep up the good work!"

Imagination+ Meeting Planners Inc

"I look forward to receiving the annual Meetings Industry Forecast issue of Convene^® each November and this year was no exception! The comprehensive statistics and commentary provided on all aspects of the industry are a valuable resource for my office. As I often receive questions regarding industry forecasts and data, it's great to be able to refer my 'customers' to the Convene^® archives for an all-inclusive overview."

"Like other top convention cities, San Antonio uses a multi-pronged sales and marketing approach to reach meeting professionals. However, we have found that when it comes to making sure our messaging makes a direct hit in targeting planners, PCMA and Convene^® always come through for us. PCMA's publications and events consistently exceed our expectations. We have found the organization brings great credibility to all partnership opportunities."

Assistant Executive Director, Sales and Marketing
San Antonio Convention & Visitors Bureau

"In looking at our marketing plans over the past few years, we feel Convene^® gives us the most exposure to the senior planners and decision makers. With the additional outreach to readers beyond the PCMA membership base, Convene^® allows the Netherlands to position itself to the North America-based organizations who meet overseas, especially in Europe. Our sponsorship of the ongoing article, 'Meeting in Europe' gave us an opportunity to educate, a twist on the traditional form of advertising."
